Woohoo! Yeah, analogs taste horrible once you've been vaping for a while 
And now that you've got that out of your system ( ) welcome to the lovely world of 100% vaping!
- and if you DO have a tobacco cigarette once in a while, then it is not the end of the world. You will probably find that it tastes nasty, stub it out and then go back to vaping yummy liquids

I used to enjoy smoking and only decided to have a real attempt at giving up when I had to stop working, they were just so expensive and I was always stressing in case I ran out completely ... honestly, if it was a choice between food or cigs I'd buy less food anyday but since my first vape a month ago I haven't even thought about ciggies but I think that I was very lucky in that my first purchase of ejuice was from a local vendor who advised me what set up to buy and gave me a sample of 'cherry cigar' flavour at 24mg which is still my fave and satisfied any cravings I had ... I reckon that's half the battle for some folks at the start, finding something that overpowers the need for tobacco ?
btw.. I'm 64 and smoked for 50yrs without any ill effects ..( as far as I know )

At about 3 weeks into my vaping journey I also decided to have a smoke. It was more out of curiosity than a desire for one. I needed to know if I really didn't want one. I smoked that cigarette and all I could taste was ashtray. That let me know that I was truly done with them once and for all. I haven't even considered smoking a real cigarette since.
Right at about 6 months clean here. 6 months prior to that I fought and fussed with cig-a-likes running out, getting bad filters, or buying unbearble tasting gas station ones. I would make it a week or two and smoke a few when e-cigs werent available... hated myself every time...
Now I cherish those moments of hating the smell of smoke on my clothes. They remind me why I vape and dont smoke.

In this case the cup is half full. For me that would be 649 not smoked. Yep, 2.5 PAD.
My best friend's wife smokes and I gotta say it stinks in that house. Uh oh. I will not become one of those ANNOYING ex-smokers.
Well I am going to go against the grain and say that this was a terrible failure.

In the interest of full disclosure - when I started vaping, I had 6 smokes left. I decided to smoke them. Morning coffee and post dinner until they were gone.
The first day I smoked them because I wanted them.
The second day I smoked the morning coffee one - and labored through the post dinner one.
The third day - ...well, I still had 2 smokes left until this weekend when I came across them while cleaning. I just tossed them in the trash without a second thought.
Point is - everyone takes a different path. The real win is in the cigarettes you /haven't/ smoked - not in the ones you do.
I've entered "Vape Reinforcement Therapy" into AgentAnia's e-cig dictionary, with credit to you. Love it!

I think I was around 26 days into vaping with my cigalike when I snagged a Newport from my wife and took 1 puff, decided then and there that I was done with them for good, and that was 5 months ago.

I completely agree about answering the little voice in your head. I admit I had a stinky at lunch break today when a coworker lit up in front of me. Curiosity got me, as my taste buds have been starting to function again since I've been vaping. I wanted to see what a cigarette tasted like now, after being off them for almost two weeks. OMG, how did I smoke those things! I couldn't finish the cigarette. It was truly gross to me. My curiosity is satisfied and I now have a pretty unpleasant memory stored in brain to help combat any further "curiosity" or cravings. Yuck!

How any ex-smoker, who once smoked PAD or more, can't see this ^ as awesome, is beyond me.
I no longer struggle with smoking, even while I choose to smoke. I usually look forward to my next smoke, but can very easily pass up a situation where it is opportune time to have one. I smoke, because I choose to, and moderate smoking is, IMO, awesome. I didn't have that example anywhere when I was growing up, and all the anti-smoking propaganda doesn't relate to me when I consider moderate smoking. It all seems related to heavy smoking or, put another way, abuse.
I prefer vaping. The taste is much better. I can do it indoors and most don't seem to mind. But I still enjoy smoking. When I no longer enjoy it, I'll set it aside. Easy schmeasy.
I do know when I went cold turkey for 8+ years, I gave myself full permission to smoke. And went 8 years without. Longer than pretty much all current vapers have gone without smoking. I think giving one's self full permission and not having guilt/remorse from trying one or 10 is key to moving forward. Vaping certainly does make the transition very easy. In some ways, I don't even see how a full relapse would be possible, unless a person gives up on vaping.

this is a MASSIVE improvement, and you should feel PROUD.
Not everyone can quit cold turkey,,,,,,,it takes some people months to give them up completely!
let's give ourselves a break!
Why?I have been waiting here for months to see you and other new vapers trying after vaping a while. Yeah If you had asked me what to do, I would recommend you to smoke one. This is seal man, you will not smoke one after that and you are not curious about what a stinky would smell and taste anymore. Well done my friend well done indeed.
